I am creating a website that shows thumbnails of art. When you click the thumbnail, which is a movie clip, it calls the swf of that individual full sized image. I attached two files, the main swf and one of the full size image swf.(I took a flash course, adobe approved, that was not Can you say $1,400 wasted? He stated that you should always use movie clips instead of buttons, because in his opinion buttons are not any good.)

If I have an external .as file that contains a function within a public class, how do I call it?I have succesfully used examples, but don't understand the way they are addressed, and get errors when I try to create my own.So if my .as file named external.as contains a public class named exampleClass, which contains a function named doThis(), is it called in CS4 using..
exampleClass.doThis();
or external.doThis();
If it's just exampleClass.doThis(); - how does Flash know where to look for it without

I've a problem with calling the movieclip from the library with the if else case.If I take out the if else condition, the code runs normally but when I do I can't. I tried numerous attempts to fix the code but it still failed.What I wanted to do is, when I click one button out of 3 buttons at the 1st frame, it will pass the string (either red, blue or orange) to answer textbox. Then I store the string into a var called tarotno to go through a if else condition to call the MovieClip according to the string passed.[code]
View 1 RepliesJust started using wordpress for my site after years of standard HTML and hit a problemwith an old Flash file I've usedfor 10 years.So I have a flash 6 swf file living in my media directory at URL...and the swf file wants to call a JavaScript function on my HTML page living at URL...Now on my old non-wordpress web site I just put the html and swf file in the same directory and this call always worked javascript:top.fSendForm()But now the swf file is in another location I don't know how to reference my JavaScript function.
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to call a javascript function from within my swf and I'm having a couple of problems which are confussing me somewhat. I'm using this to call the function from flash:
ExternalInterface.call("pgcover"); I know that this is calling the function as I have set it trigger an alert action and this comes up properly. But I don't want the function to trigger an alert, this is just for testing purposes. I instead want it to change the styling on a div. I have set up a test page where I have asigned the function to a button and this works, the div display changes from block to none. When I get the swf to call the function setup to do the same thing, nothing happens.

View 6 RepliesI have what I think is an easy question but I am having problems with it... Using AS2 / CS3, I am calling a javascript function from Flash, but i would like the value to be a variable and I cant figure out how to do it. the started code is below and I need direction on how to make "myVar" actually a variable.
var myVar = newValue_txt.text;
btnOne.onRelease = function() { getURL("javascript:testFunction('myVar') ");
}
this is a stripped down version of what i am trying to do, but i think it gets the main point across.
I've used the code below to load swfs into my tileList and set their colors using setData() within each swf. Everything seems to work except "source:e.currentTarget.content". The swfs seem to be mixed up randomly each time it runs. Their colors are set correctly and all the other tilelist info is correct. What have I done wrong with "source:e.currentTarget.content"? I can swap "source:e.currentTarget.content" with "source:myXMLList[loadPosition].source" which gives me the correct swf but then the colors aren't set.
for(var f:int = 0; f<myXMLList.length(); f++){
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function(e:Event):void{
Object(e.currentTarget.content).setData(myXMLList[loadPosition].param eter[0], myXMLList[loadPosition].parameter[1]);

I have a problem with a flash header - the links in it does not work unless they point to another domain other than the one that it's hosted at. I suspect that its got to do with domains but I'm not sure and that's why I'm here The flash (a header for a blog) is located at [URL], but the blog using it is located at blog.hotsailsmaui.com. The subdomain is located at another IP-range, namely Googles [URL].No links in the Flash-header pointing at pages at [URL] work, but all links pointing at other domains work. The Flash-header works as it shuld at [URL] but not at the blog.
View 4 RepliesI have a sprite menu which populates a dynamic textfield with textlabels as users click individual items in the menu in addition to ordinary actions(gotoAndStop). As these labels appear in the textfield, I want to be able to link them to the frames assosciated with the menu - item frames. As you can understand from this, I am working with the timeline. By enabling html rendering of text in the textfield, I have been able to link these output labels via a a href - tag, but I am not able to call a function from this html. The function I am trying to call uses a switch statement to take the appropriate actions according to which label is being clicked, but the only effect I get is the html opening a browser window...... Unfortunately I do not know how to explain this any better, but here is my code for the following:

View 2 RepliesIf I have a function and I want to call a variable from another function (only 1variable), how do I do it? I know in the olden days you could set the variable to local or global, but that does not seem to work anymore. There is only 1 variable I need access to, but all the tutorials I have come across talk about making classes for multiple variables.
e.g. function2();
{
variable_b = variable_a;

However these animations loop...and on the last frame i need the gallery to appear again..

I don't want to create a class to make this function works. It's a simple function, made to change a picture every time the user navigates on another swf. Well. The point is, why in the name of God, the as3 cannot target another swf? How can i do it?
